Toronto Raptors

What to be grateful for: A great foundation 

Over the course of the last decade, the Toronto Raptors have quickly evolved into one of the most well-run franchises in the league. They draft well, develop better than most teams, and have one of the best coaching staff in the NBA. Oh, and they also have quite a talented roster.

That’s what the Raptors should be grateful for most. The fact that even though they may not have the best talent, this is a franchise that’s going to make the best out of every situation and, more often than not, is going to figure things out.

This team has not fallen off much since the loss of Kawhi Leonard and this roster continues to improve. They are a star away from true championship contention and I’m not sure there are many teams in the league that have the depth that Toronto has.
